Amir looks at Sadie and refuses to utter any words. He wonders what she will do next. Five minutes later, Sadie walks into the sitting room, clutching a bag. As soon as Amir sights the bag, he wonders what can be inside the bag. “Someone gave me this today,” Sadie said. “And who could that be?” “It’s one of my clients. He came to thank me for helping him overcome his depression.” “Well, it is the result of hard work. What is inside the bag?” Looking inside the bag, Sadie says, “It is a wrapped present. What can this be?” Sadie removes the wrapped present from the bag. She drops the bag on the table and moves in the direction of Amir. Sitting beside Amir on the couch, Sadie unwraps the present. She was surprised to see a box. “What is inside the box?” Amir said.

She stands up from the couch and leaves the sitting room. Rose returns to the sitting room, clutching a tray. She drops the tray on the table. She pours a soft drink inside the cup and gives it to Delvin. Delvin collects the cup gently from Rose and thanks her. “You are welcome,” Rose said, exposing her set of teeth. Delvin sips the drink gently. He loves the coldness that the drink gives to his throat. He looks at Rose intermittently as if he wants to say something, but he keeps mute. Rose was looking at Delvin and waiting for him to finish sipping the drink. She is still very happy that Delvin visited her unannounced. If Delvin had told her that he would be visiting her today, she would have made a special meal for him that he would like so much. As soon as Delvin f

Her husband had told her that he was going to go and pick up Silas from home. Mrs. Alex stands up from the couch and moves in the direction of the window. She looks through the window and she can see a red car rightly parked close to the house. Mr. Alex is the first to alight from the car, followed by Silas. Mrs. Alex watches them as they move in the direction of the door. When they are closer to the door, Mrs. Alex walks and moves in the direction of her seat. She sits down, hoping that the door will go open very soon. The door finally went open. Mrs. Alex’s eyes went straight in the direction of the door. She can see Mr. Alex and Silas. Mr. Alex is putting on a green short-sleeved shirt, black trousers and a green cap. These trousers look like jean trousers, but they ar
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ The door goes open and Rose enters into the office. She is holding her phone with her right hand. She is dressed in a brown short-sleeved shirt and brown jean trousers. Her shoes are black and they are high-heeled. “Why did you call me on the phone, Rachael?” Rose said, standing right in front of Rachael. “Just have your seat.” Rose stood still for two minutes. She was gazing at Rachael’s face. She could see sadness written on Rachael’s face. “What happened, Rose? You look so sad,” Rose said, sitting on the chair. “My mother-in-law just called me not quite long ago...” “Did she say anything bad?” “She asked me if I had received any calls from Silas. She heard her say she was going to the hospital before the network cut the call.” “Hospital?” Rose said with bewilderment. “Yeah. I have been trying Silas’ phone number but it is not going through.” “What do we do now?” “I don’t know,” Rachael said, using his right hand to his lef
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Thoughts were running through Silas’ mind. He remembers how his father drove him to the airport in the morning. He never believed that his father could have been involved in an accident. Besides, he doesn’t wish any bad news on his family members. Despite the light clothes he is wearing, he is sweating. It is when a sweat falls on his hand that he discovers that his body has been covered with sweat. He stands up from the couch and moves in the direction of the fan. After turning on the fan, he moves in the direction of his seat. He only sat for a few minutes when his sweats dry up. Silas could hear the knock on the door. He knows Rachael must be the one knocking on the door. He stands up from the couch, quickly uses his hand to rub his face to see if it has no liquid and moves in the direction of the door. He is moving slowly as if he has no mission. Silas opens the door gently and sees Rachael holding a bag. Rachael is happy to se
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ It is Friday. Amir is inside the sitting room. He is sitting on the couch and glancing through his phone. He is dressed in a yellow shirt and he has a wristwatch round his wrist. Amir raises his head up only to see Sadie. Sadie is dressed in a light gown. She looks like one who hasn’t taken a bath. She stands right in front of Amir and says, “You are ready for work already, I guess.” “Yeah. I will be leaving for work very soon.” “You have to eat before you go.” Sadie sat down beside Amir on the couch. She is looking at Amir’s phone as if she is trying to check what Amir is doing on his phone. Amir stops glancing through his phone. He fixes his gaze on Sadie and says, “I don’t think I will take anything this morning.” Sadie is shocked to hear this from Amir. She believes Amir loves to eat in the morning, especially when she cooks one of Amir’s favorite. She knows it’s only sickness or something related to that that will make
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ As soon as Evan leaves the office, Amir continues glancing through the document. He ensures that nothing impairs his vision. He is still glancing at the document when he hears Evan's voice. He dropped the document gently on the table. Standing right in front of Amir are five workers who are all dressed in black polo shirts, black trousers and white caps. There are three men and two women. They all bow their heads and greet Amir. Amir refuses to answer them. He frowns his face instead. The workers wonder what they have done that will allow Amir to frown at them. Evan, on the other hand, knows why Amir is frowning but he refuses to say any words. “What have you done today?” Amir said. The workers look at one another’s faces and refuse to talk. They want to know who will talk first. Amir became angry. “If you are even illiterate, does it mean you didn’t understand what I said?” Amir said. One of the workers took

The building is very beautiful. It is small in size and it has a lot of glass. Amir presses a button and the door goes open. He enters the bar. There were a few people inside the bar. There is loud music emanating from the speakers inside the bar. Amir looks in the direction of the left, only to see Ethan. He moves in the direction of Ethan. Ethan is surprised to see Amir. The last time he called Amir, Amir told him that he was on his way to the bar. He doesn’t know that Amir will get to the bar sooner than he did. “Hi, Ethan,” Amir said, shaking hands with Ethan. Amir sits down on the couch. He gazes at Ethan and smiles. Ethan is dressed in white attire. There is a stain on his white shirt. His shirt must have been stained by the beer he was sipping. “How was work today?” Ethan said. “It
